The reality thread

[Zordon]

Both interceptions he threw on FIRST down (2nd and 3rd picks) could of easily been avoided by knowing the game situation and THROWING THE BALL AWAY!

3 timeouts, 3 minutes left (and the 2 minute warning), down 3 points....yet he feels the need to throw a floater to the sideline to save 5 yds on a sack. the guy has the brain of a squirrel. everyone likes to talk about dez's IQ, romo is the true idiot.

He could of chucked it out of bounds over Murray's head as well. Its not the first time this exact scenario has played out either.

How about the roll out in the first quarter, he just flops to the ground for a 4 yard sack instead of throwing the ball away. He is just out there running around trying to make plays, he doesnt get the little things that a good QB has to be aware of in order to win.

What's he supposed to say? That the team is ****, the players are turds and there's not a snowball's chance they'll do anything this season? :laugh2: This guy changes things more than any other owner I know of, but it's always he doesn't change enough or he tinkers too much. Could it be that the players are to blame moret han the owner? They ARE the ones playing aren't they? Bottom line is there hasn't been the right combination of coaches and players...it'll happen one day.

Really, dude? U make zero sense. WHO'S responsible for the combinations? Rowdy or the ultimate decision maker?

That last one was totally ridiculous and inexcusable. It did not kill our season, however. The D had them stopped and they had to kick a field goal. We would have been down by 6 with over 2 minutes and our timeouts left. But....Hatcher hit RGIII in the head - killing our season.

Not to sound like a romo apologist....but the last one was a throw to the hot read. When you have the same hot all the time, that is going to happen. It was a bad decision, but i think it is as much of that as it is another example of jg putting players in a position to fail

No its not all on Romo, but last night with his 3 picks it was. Especially the last one that killed our season. No way to make any excuse for that.

Garrett is a big part of the problem.

OLine Sux.

DLine isnt as bad as OLine I guess, but not a big help.

All things considered: Red is our biggest weakness. In this league of parity coaching is what makes the difference. Look at what Shanahan has done this year with a rookie QB and rookie RB. Thats just one example, but coaching is what separates the good teams form the rest in this league. You still have to have talented players, but coaching is the difference. And the Cowboys have enough talent to be competitive. We just dont have the coaching.

yes, but every pick Romo threw there was a guy blitzing up the middle, unblocked and in his face. Same blitz, same result. Its been the same thing with this team for 6 years now. Until this team has a great Oline, it wont matter who is QBing, who is running, or who is coaching.

Not saying the East is the best division in football, but this is the second year it has come down to the last game. And last year's winner won the SB. Not saying we're a player away or anything, but c'mon guys. But, I guess y'all are not happy unless you have something to complain about, so the way the season ended I KNOW makes y'all happy. Not me.Peace out.

In that situation, though, you HAVE to be sure. You can't blindly just toss it to the hot read. Especially since it is 1st down. Like I said, though, I am not putting the game on him. They easily could have had a chance to win if hatcher doesn't commit the roughing the passer. Oh, and if we didn;t have scrubs playing across our whole front 7 on D, with Ware and Spencer both completely crippled by injuries. Did you see how slow and plodding spence looked after hurting his ankle??

You nailed it. He doestn get the little things.

Coaching, Time to throw, a run game, receivers that are on the field and running proper routes, a defense that can stop anyone ect...ect...

But I will agree he needs to throw it away more. But if he throws it away, we simply punt the ball. I think Romo knows very well that if he doenst make a play, were done. Thats the problem with this team. If Romo doesnt play perfect and make nearly everything by himself, we lose. Until that changes, the results will be the same.

I have to agree that it was stupid.

There was that time he threw the end of half screen pass deep in own territory and Hall stripped the ball and took it to the house. I don't think that was on Wade or JG. Was Romo free-lancing. Seems like a pattern.

LOL. It isn't just luck that the Patriots have had 10 straight 10+ win seasons. They have a system and they stick to it, just like the Giants, Steelers, Ravens, and other teams that have had success lately.

We have had 16 years of 8-8. At some point, you look at the guy who puts together these players and coaches.
